Dumb and Dumber sequel to feature hunt for Harry or Lloyd’s lost child

A Dumb and Dumber sequel is set to go ahead eighteen years after the Farrelly brothers introduced Harry Dunne and Lloyd Christmas to the world.

Bobby Farrelly, one half of the duo behind The Three Stooges film, has revealed that both Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels are on board with the sequel.

Filming will have to wait until Daniels has completed his work on US drama Newsroom, but Farrelly revealed he has already come up with a plot for the follow up.

Speaking to Digital Spy, he said fans can rest easy as Harry and Lloyd have not grown up in the time they have been away from the silver screen.

‘The story revolves around the fact that one of them may have sired a child. They want to go and find the child because he’s having a kidney problem and he wants to ask him for one of his kidneys,’ he said.

He also revealed he and his brother have been hoping to film a sequel for a long time.

‘We always wanted to get the two original guys Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels back together and see what they’re up to. Now it’s almost 20 years after the original and the other guys are in a point in their career where they had so much fun the first time that they’re willing to do it.’
